1 We tested the hypothesis that potassium lateral diffusion coupling is responsible for the coupling mechanisms for network periodicity in a nonsynaptic model of epilepsy in vivo using a CA1 pyramidal neuron network model The simulation results show that 1), potassium lateral diffusion coupling is crucial for establishing epileptiform activity similar to that generated experimentally; and 2), there exists a scaling relation between the critical coupling strength and the number of cells in the network.
